People can whine about whinning all they want, except they provide some solid evidence that contradicts the complain, instead of the generic and conformist "it happens all the time", the complains about the officiating will be valid, and thus, will continue.

Fact is, we had played well enough to be in the game, and what decided the game was a helmet to helmet hit neglected and a facemask not called.

Exactly. I keep hearing about how we put up no defense, which is true, but neither did the Cards! We had every right to win that game, same as they did. And had we won, it wouldn't have been a "stolen" victory. The Cardinals didn't out play us so much that a win by us would have been a miscarriage of justice or anything like that.

It's my sincere hope that some of the fans of other teams calling us whiners get equally screwed by an obvious missed call. I would love to be able to point a finger at them and tell them what big whiners they are, especially after bashing us for airing our legitimate gripes.

Considering that 13 of those 51 points shouldn't have counted if you actually agreed that there were non-calls.

Yeah, and if my aunt had nutz, she'd be my uncle.

Hauschild, how's your match-up argument holding up?

Well, I'm sitting about 75% since this past weekend. I should have known Green Bay was overrated because I harped about the cupcake schedule all season - yet I let my homerism get the best of me again.

I'm actually kinda glad that Dallas and Minnesota haven't played this season because now I'll actually be watching the game like a normal fan would - completely clueless about what is unfolding.

I am going out on a limb to say Minnesota had an easy schedule in 2009 (actually it was the EASIEST - GB was 29th). Will this affect things on Sunday? Did it affect things for Green Bay last week??? Or asked another way, "Is a pig's ***, pork???"

This is all I know about Minnesota in 2009:

The Vikings have played 10 games on the turf this year. . .their eight home games, as well as games at Detroit and St. Louis.

Minnesota's record in those 10 games? 10-0.

Average points scored in those 10 games? 32.7

Average points allowed in those 10 games? 14.7

Based on the above, Dallas is in for a buzz-saw. However, this is where we have to take into account the fact Minnesota played the easiest schedule in 2009. All Day will be shut down again, but will Brett Favre get time to expose a suspect Dallas secondary??? THAT is the big question.

:rantingh god, ive been a fan since i was little... i mean my dad raised me a packer fan... i cant recall a single game besides this one that i so called whined about! This crap needs to stop... Ya ok our defense gave up 51 points, hello theirs gave up 45 and would have been 51.. soooooooooooo inconclusion even with warner not making any mistakes we matched them in points making a ton of them... so not exactly the better team winning!:viksux::chisux::detsux:

And seriously a cupcake schedule??? really? cuz you guys(vikings) had about the same schedule as us and you only finished a game ahead of us. and you also lost to some pretty crappy teams just like us!:viksux:

How is the 32nd and 29th easiest schedule NOT considered cupcake to you???

oh god did you see the teams you were playing... they rank the schedules before.. the teams usually turn out better and i highly doubt we had the 32nd easiest schedule dope... we would have had to win only 1 game... and the schedules are predetermined years in advance besides 1 or 2 games:morpheus:

Again, you've failed to comprehend what I wrote - not that it is a big revelation and not that there is much to hang yer hat on having the 32nd easiest in comparison with the 29th.
